Program Requirements

To be awarded the Master of Public Health degree, all students must complete 42 credit hours with a 3.0 minimum grade point average in all coursework attempted at UAGC.

In order to transfer credits into the Master of Public Health program, the credits to be transferred must come from a school or program accredited by the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH).

Practicum Requirements

In addition to completing all required courses in your degree program, you will be required to complete a practicum consisting of 90 contact hours with an approved facility. As practical knowledge and skills are essential to a successful career in public health, a planned, supervised, and evaluated practicum is an essential component of a public health professional degree program. The goal of the practicum is to provide an opportunity for you to synthesize, integrate, and apply practical skills, knowledge, and training learned through courses, to gain professional experience in a public health work environment, and to work on public health practice projects that are of particular interest to you.

Prior to beginning a supervised practicum and/or employment in most health care facilities, you may need to provide or successfully complete:

Background checks
Toxicology screening
Blood-borne pathogen training
Liability coverage
HIPAA training
Proof of current immunizations (required of the state) including a two-step TB test (within a year of clinical practicum), MMR or titers, Tdap (10 yr. booster), Varicella, Hepatitis B immunizations or titers, Influenza or record of decline, and/or health clearance from a physician.

Potential locations for your practicum include health care offices, public health offices, community health centers, state health offices, and more. If the student chooses their previous or current employer to host their practicum, it must be with a different department and supervisor.

Students can only complete their practicum in states where this program is available. All students enrolling in a degree program with a practicum requirement are expected to complete the practicum in the United States. If students anticipate that they will not be able to complete their practicum in the United States all exceptions must be approved prior to admission into the program.

Students who reside and/or work outside the United States may be ineligible to complete practicum hours at a facility abroad; requirements and restrictions vary by country. Students must notify the Program Chair prior to enrolling in the program to discuss a potential practicum location and obtain Program Chair permission to enroll.

Criminal Convictions & Criminal Background Check Requirements

Applicants to the Master of Public Health program are required to pay for, complete, and successfully clear a Criminal Background Check (CBC) prior to enrollment into the program and a second CBC prior to final approval of practicum site placement. Students will work directly with Sterling Infosystems, Inc., and the approximate cost of each CBC will be $24.00. Applicants are advised that health care organizations (hospitals, home health agencies, clinics, and other types of health agencies) may require a background check for any student completing a practicum as well as for future employment.

If you can provide evidence of substantial prior public health experience relevant to program-specific competencies, you may qualify to reduce your total number of required practicum hours by up to 30 hours.

In general, this substantiation would require at least three years of full-time employment in a position or positions related to public health, a demonstration of public health competencies obtained by your employment, and a written statement expressing how your future career endeavors will not be impacted by reducing your Practicum hours. If you wish to apply for Practicum Equivalent Experience, you must submit a Student Petition to Waive Practicum Hours form by your third course. This time frame allows you to plan a full Practicum, should your prior experience not be deemed sufficient.

Licensure and Certification Terms and Conditions

The Master of Public Health program is not accredited by the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH). CEPH is an independent accrediting organization whose mission is to serve the public interest by establishing and enforcing quality Accreditation Standards for Public Health programs.

Rachel B.

Class of 2023

Obtaining an MPH degree from UAGC can be highly rewarding. It equips you with the knowledge and skills to address complex health issues, influence health policies, and implement effective health programs. The demand for public health professionals has been amplified by global health challenges, highlighting the importance of expertise in this field.
While both degrees focus on health, they serve different purposes. An MPH focuses on population health through research and policy, while an MHA centers on managing health care organizations. An MPH is for those interested in public health advocacy, and an MHA is for those interested in health care administration.
Choosing between the two depends on whether you're more interested in public health advocacy and research or the administrative and operational aspects of health care services.
Through your online MPH degree coursework, you will gain an understanding of the biological and social determinants of health while exploring key public health issues through epidemiology, biostatistics, research, and health services administration, as well as a practicum where you will gain real-world professional experience.

Class of 2023

An RN to BSN program is an educational pathway designed for registered nurses with an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) or diploma to earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. It builds upon their existing nursing knowledge and experience, providing a more comprehensive education in areas like leadership, research, and community health.
Enrolling in an RN to BSN program online can be a worthwhile investment for nurses as it may lead to career enhancement opportunities and increased job satisfaction. Many health care organizations prefer or require nurses to have a BSN, making it a valuable credential in the competitive nursing field. We recommend you speak with an Enrollment Advisor about your career goals to see if this program is right for you.
Your RN to BSN courses will foster your personal development – building self-confidence, ethical values, integrity – while cultivating your professional knowledge of technologies and modalities to effectively communicate with patients and their families. Your coursework and practice experiences cover a wide range of content, from patient care quality and safety to leadership, community health, ethics, and technology.
In your practice experiences, you will acquire knowledge and skills by interacting with health care professionals and engaging in rich learning simulations. You will also focus on developing and refining interprofessional, leadership, and assessment in intervention skills.
Health care in the U.S. is becoming more and more complex, as many nurses need to step into managerial and leadership roles. Many hospitals are making it their policy to require their nurses to have a minimum of a BSN or at least an agreement to pursue that degree within a period of time. According to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing, all magnet hospitals require their managers to have a minimum of a BSN or MSN. The current nursing environment is becoming more competitive, which means earning a Bachelor of Science in Nursing is now more critical than ever before.
